A second former Minneapolis police officer who is currently facing charges related to George Floyd's death is free, for now and immediately got a taste of what his life will be like out in public.
J. Alexander Kueng was released at about 7:30 p.m. Friday on $750,000 bail with conditions. While out shopping when he was recognized by a woman in a food store. She starts recording while questioning him.
"So, you're out of prison and you're comfortably shopping in Cub Foods as if you didn't do anything?" she asks.
"I wouldn't call it comfortably. I would say getting necessities ... or helping," Kueng responds.
"I don't think you should have that right. I don't think you should even be out on bail," the woman continues. "You're literally out here comfortably as if you didn't kill that man? Did you think people weren't going to recognize you? You don't have the right to be here. You killed somebody in cold blood. You do not have the right to be here. We want you to be locked up."
Kueng’s release comes more than a week after fellow former officer Thomas Lane was released on bail. Like Kueng and Tou Thao, Lane was charged with aiding and abetting in Floyd’s death.
The officers were on scene as Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd at 38th and Chicago while taking him into custody. Floyd became unresponsive during the arrest and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Chauvin is charged with murder in the case.
